The latest issue of V-Jump finally shares an update on the Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. According to the magazine, it’ll be out this fall in Japan (and in the west as well, we’d assume).

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will have six-person ad-hoc play, two-player battles using the Joy-Con controllers, and the ability to use Kamehameha through the motion sensor on Switch. Those who buy the game will also be provided with a code to unlock all playable characters from the main story of the previous game early.

Nintendo has shared some preliminary information about the latest NPD report. During the month of April, Switch hardware and one game in particular stood out.

Switch was the best-selling piece of gaming hardware in the U.S. last month at over 280,000 units. It’s the second month in a row that Switch has come out on top in gaming hardware sales. In Nintendo’s announcement today, the company said that “April sales of Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems (more than 68,000 units sold) combined to make up almost half of all hardware sales across all dedicated video game systems.”

Kylotonn, developer of the racing title WRC 7, is “looking into” developing for Switch. That’s according to director Alain Jarniou, who was asked about the possibility of supporting the console while speaking to RedBull.

Regarding Switch, Jarniou had this to say:

“Just like Nintendo used to do, with the Switch they’ve provided us with a new way of playing, and it’s very interesting. We are looking into this new platform to see how it can fit for our games in general. Everything is possible and WRC 7 might come out on the Switch if we find good matches with the game experience.

Technically, the device is quite different to other platforms. It’s exciting to see what’s behind it and what kind of possibilities it provides. We are expecting good surprises! In terms of usage, it’s also something quite new; gameplay will surely need some adaptation, but that is a good opportunity to rethink the driving experience.

Driving a rally car while on the bus can be fun, for sure!”

Since the launch of Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition last week, some users have been reporting an odd issue. Without any input from the user, the problem involves screenshots being taken automatically and randomly. While not confirmed at the time, the situation appeared to be tied to Minecraft.

4J Studios posted an update on Twitter today confirming that Minecraft is indeed the cause, and Nintendo now knows what’s causing it. A bug fix will be addressed soon to not only address problems with screenshots, but false Home button presses as well.

Customers are advised to show up before doors open. Most locations tend to start business at 10 AM local time, though you may want to verify that with your local outlet.

Super Bomberman R is receiving a small patch tomorrow. Version 1.3.1 is on the way, which Konami is labeling as a “small maintenance patch”.

Tomorrow’s update is unrelated to version 1.4. That one will presumably be the one that adds new characters and more.
